Reagent are supplied in buff er containing stabilizer

and 0.05% sodium azide.

Storage Store all components protected from light at 2–8 °C.

Do not freeze. Th e expiration date is indicated on

the vial label.

1.1 Principle of the assay

The MSC Enumeration Kit has been designed for the quantification of

mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) in human bone marrow samples,

based on the expression of CD271 (LNGFR) and Anti-MSCA-1 (W8B2).

The kit allows the identification of CD45+ leukocytes and CD271

(LNGFR)+/Anti-MSCA-1 (W8B2)+ MSCs, which are also CD45dim.

CD235a (Glycophorin A) is used to exclude remaining red blood cells,

which were not completely lysed by the Red Blood Cell Lysing Solution.

For one test, two 100 μL samples of bone marrow are needed.

The MSCs are detected by staining one 100 μL sample with the

MSC Staining Cocktail as well as with Anti-MSCA-1 (W8B2)-APC.

Subsequently, erythrocytes are lysed using the Red Blood Cell Lysis

Solution.

Additionally, a 100 μL control sample is stained with the MSC Isotype

Cocktail. This is required for the proper setting of relevant gates during

flow cytometry analysis.

The FcR Blocking Reagent increases the specificity of immunofluorescent

staining.

Dead cells are excluded from the analysis by adding of DNA stain

7-aminoactinomycin D (7-AAD). 7-AAD diffuses through the cell

membrane of dead cells and intercalates with their DNA.

Finally, cells are analyzed with flow cytometers able to detect 4-color

fluorescence (488 nm argon laser, 635 nm red diode laser, optional:

405  nm violet laser). The use of the MACSQuant® Flow Cytometers

enable an automated and accurate cell count. If using flow cytometers

other than the MACSQuant Flow Cytometer, it is necessary to determine

the absolute cell count by analysis of commercially available counting

particles such as present in BD Trucount™ Tubes.

1.2 Background information

The large scale isolation and expansion of MSCs from human bone

marrow is time consuming, cost effective, and highly dependent on the

quality of the starting material. Therefore it is desirable to qualify the

bone marrow source with regard to MSC content. The common way

to quantify MSCs within human blood sources is the colony forming

unit-fibroblast (CFU-F) assay, which is time consuming, dependent on

serum lots, and plating densities, as well as considerably subjective in

defining and scoring colonies. It was shown that Anti-MSCA-1 (W8B2)

only detects CD271 (LNGFR)bright cells and only these cells give rise to

CFU-F1. A close linear relationship was observed between the number

of CFU-F colonies counted manually after 14 days of culture and the

number of CD271 (LNGFR)bright cells per milliliter of aspirate2.

2. Protocols

Th e following protocol has been optimized for mesenchymal stromal

cell (MSC) enumeration in a human bone marrow sample. For best

results use starting material directly aft er aspiration.

▲ Bone marrow samples have to be supplemented with an anticoagulant,

for example, heparin.

▲ Bone marrow samples should be stored at room temperature under

agitation until analysis.

▲ When using bone marrow aspirate pass the material through a

MACS SmartStrainer (100 μm).

▲ Dilute Red Blood Cell Lysis Solution (10×) 1:10 with double-distilled

water (ddH2O), for example, dilute 200 μL of Red Blood Cell Lysis

Solution (10×) with 1800 μL of ddH2O. Do not use deionized water!

Store the prepared 1× Red Blood Cell Lysis Solution at room temperature.

Discard unused solution at the end of the day.

2.1 Immunofl uorescent labeling

▲ Volumes given below are for one test with two 100 μL samples ofbone marrow.

1. Label two tubes with A (control sample) and B (MSC sample).

▲ Note: When using other fl ow cytometer than the MACSQuant Flow Cytometers

use two BD Trucount Absolute Counting Tubes.

2. Carefully pipette 100 μL of well-mixed human bone marrow to the

bottom of each tube.

▲ Note: For each sample tube use a fresh micropipette tip.

3. Add 20 μL FcR Blocking Solution into each tube.

4. Add 10 μL of MSC Isotype Cocktail into tube A and 10 μL of MSC

Staining Cocktail as well as 10 μL of Anti-MSCA-1 (W8B2)-APC

into tube B.

5. Immediately vortex thoroughly and incubate for 10 minutes at

2–8 °C in the dark.

6. Add 860 μL of 1× Red Blood Cell Lysis Solution into tube A and

850 μL in tube B.

7. Immediately vortex and incubate for 10 minutes at room

temperature in the dark using the MACSmix Tube Rotator.

8. Add 10 μL of the 7-AAD Solution into each tube.

9. Directly proceed with fl ow cytometric analysis.

▲ Note: Analysis should be performed within 20 minutes aft er staining.

2.2 Flow cytometric acquisition and data analysis using the

MACSQuant® Analyzer 10

Before starting to acquire the samples make sure that the MACSQuant®

Analyzer 10 fl ow cytometer has been carefully cleaned in order to allow

the detection of rare MSCs.

Instrument setting and data acquisition

Choose an instrument setting for standard four-color cell analysis of

human blood leukocytes. A proper instrument setting can be reached

by adjusting parameters with separate FITC-, PE-, VioBlue-, and

APC-conjugated antibodies or by using the MACS Comp Bead Kit,

anti-mouse Igκ or the MACS Comp Bead Kit, anti-REA.

▲ Exclude debris from data acquisition by an appropriate value for the

threshold on forward scatter (FSC).

Creation of dot plots

For data acquisition and analysis create the following dot plots (region

settings are shown in the examples below):

be reached by adjusting parameters with separate FITC-, PE-, and APC-

conjugated antibodies.

▲ Exclude debris from data acquisition by an appropriate value for the

threshold on forward scatter (FSC).

▲ A minimum of 100 CD271 (LNGFR)+ Anti-MSCA-1 (W8B2)+ events

should be counted. Additionally a minimum of 1000 counting particle

In the given example, the number of MSCs is 3621/mL human bone

marrow aspirate.

3. Appendix

MSCA-1 (W8B2) is identical to the tissue non-specifi c alkaline

phosphatase (TNAP). It was demonstrated that only MSCA-1+ but not

MSCA-1– bone marrow cells express the enzymatically active form of

the TNAP. In addition, it was shown in diff erent bone marrow sources

that only MSCA-1+ cells gave rise to MSCs3 as defi ned by the ISCT

consortium4. Nevertheless there are further MSC specifi c antibodies

which can be used in combination with CD271 (LNGFR) for MSC

detection and enumeration. Th e following table lists some of these

markers with suggested titers that can be used within this assay instead

of Anti-MSCA-1 (W8B2)-APC.
